2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

American Scene Painting / Regionalism We all know that Europe had long been the center of the Western art world. As modernism spread to the U.S. by way of the Armory Show (among other exhibitions) and by way of European artists seeking refuge from world war by taking up residence in America, some American artists resisted this influence. Rather than mimick European art forms, some American artists wanted to forge an indigenous American art that reflected American values, lifestyle, etc. -American scene painters/Regionalists in the 30s, espousing conservative values in American heartland, were suspicious of the avant-garde, desiring for American regions to compete with one another in order to foster a rich American culture. Grant Wood was a leading member of this group. -Here Wood’s dentist and sister as father and daughter—house in “carpenter gothic” style—considered these people good Midwesterners (Iowans), “basically good and solid people” -Severe expressions emphasized by meticulous, realistic style -Mixed reviews from critics. The public embraced it’s positive message about American “strength, dignity, fortitude” while others saw it as too nationalistic in an era of dangerous nationalistic politics worldwide (especially in Germany) Grant Wood: Revolt Against the City , 1935 – pamphlet issued in 1935 “ Painting has declared its independence from Europe, and is retreating from the cities to the more American village and country life. Pais is no longer the mecca of the American artist. The American public, which used to be interested solely in foreign and imitative work, has readily acquired a strong interest in the distinctly indigenous art of its own land…an honest reliance on subject matter which he can best interpret because he knows it best.”
The Great Depression, begun with the U.S. stock market crash in 1929 changed the face of America and American art. The fledgling modern art market disappeared and museums slowed their acquisitions and exhibition schedules. In response, the US government under Roosevelt established programs to provide relief and give artists, among others, jobs. These programs included the WPA (Works Progress Administration), the FAP, etc. which hired artists, photographers, and filmmakers to create a portrait of American life at that time. In some cases, these works were used propagandistically to raise funds for relief programs by their free placement in newspapers and more. This photo would have been accompanied by a caption and a short essay entitled “Look at Her Face!” which encouraged empathy and generosity from its reader. -Lange, SAnFran based, active 1935-39, photographed migrant workers fleeing to cali -Florence Thompson, 32 yr old mother of 7, a pea picker out of work -shows the underbelly of American culture at that time, even if you’re an industrious American, you may still live in poverty these people as embodiments of their ideas about poverty
- after WWI many AfroAm left rural south for jobs in northern defense plants, called The Great Migration , created a huge shift in the socio-political American landscape and increased racial tension in north -with this, a circle of writers, artists, etc developed in Harlem, NY, this created a flowering of artistic activity known as Harlem Ren. - New Negro movement: in an effort to revitalize black identity and forge a positive image of the afram experience, black artists looked to contemporary culture and historic events for their subject matter, while drawing on their training in European art and from an indigenous folk tradition for their hybrid aesthetic (here cubism and AfroAm folk art) -a 60-panel cycle that tells the story of this migration, of which his family was a part (from S. Carolina to Atlantic City, NJ where he was born) -created at the age of 23 and the first AfroAm artist to gain acclaim in the segregated NY art world
Rivera wanted to create an indigenous Mexican art free from colonial influence and since on a grand scale, inspired by the great Renaissance muralists and native American arts and culture. These projects would be an “art for the people” though in their promise to record and ennoble the contributions of the everyman, and specifically, the native Mexican. This happened in conjunction with the Mexican Revolution from 1910-20. Rivera was a committed Marxists, as was wife, the artist Frida Kahlo, and his work reflects these politics. He was often under fire for them and even had a few destroyed because of their overt references to communist ideologies. Kahlo’s work, on the other hand, was more personal and confessional, illustrating the main emotional and physical pains she endured as a result of a debilitating car accident in her youth, her inability to have children, and her often tumultuous relationship with Rivera. She was called a surrealist by others, although she claimed no affiliation with the movement. The above painting shows her struggle for identification as both a Mexican (her mother’s side, on the right) and a European (her father’s side, on the left, which was German).
-Hitler effectively shut down modern art practice in Europe through an aggressive campaign against it (Kollwitz dropped from academy, Kirchner committed suicide) -In fact, much of his military strategy was designed to rob European museums of their collections of pre-modern art for his very own museum of German art then in the works. All the while he and his ministers were waging a war against modern art through exhibitions (“Degenerate Art” exhibition of 1937), illegal acquisition and selling of these works (way below their value), and by ruining the careers of these artists either by having the forcibly removed from their teaching posts or by shutting down modern institutions (such as the Bauhaus in 1933) causing these artists to flee en masse to the US. The Bauhaus, as you have read, challlenged the traditional separate of art and other crafts by advocating a union of all art forms, an application of good design to living environments, and a knowledge of machine-age technologies. Under its leader, Walter Gropius, the Bauhaus offered a diverse curriculum including weaving, pottery, carpentry, metalwork, mural painting, typography, as well as traditional art and architecture courses. He desired a “marriage between art and industry..design and production”. Theirs was a utopian vision, like the Suprematists and DeStijl artists before them, one whose embrace of the modern world was met with hostility by the traditional thinkers associated with Hitler and the Third Reich.
